Paragon’s Authentication Layer

Paragon provides a robust, fully-managed authentication layer that makes it easy to connect your users to third-party applications securely and efficiently. It is designed to handle the complexities of OAuth and other authentication flows, so you can focus on building your product.

​

Implementation Options

You have the flexibility to bring Paragon’s authentication layer into your application in the way that best fits your needs:

​

Connect Portal

Use Paragon’s out-of-the-box React component to quickly embed a beautiful, secure authentication and integration experience in your app. This option requires minimal setup and provides a streamlined user experience with built-in UI, onboarding, and management tools.

​

Headless Connect Portal

Prefer to design your own UI? Paragon’s Headless option gives you full control over the user interface while still leveraging Paragon’s secure authentication and integration logic behind the scenes. Ideal for teams who want a fully custom look and feel while offloading the complexity of authentication.

Both options provide:

• Secure handling of OAuth and other authentication flows
• Management of user settings, field mapping, and workflow visibility
• A scalable, reliable foundation for integrating with third-party integration providers
